Program Description

Event Details

The fascinating real-life story of The Night Before Christmas by Clement Moore chimes to life told by Martina Mathisen, along with the stories of our American Christmas Traditions. Why do we kiss under a mistletoe? Why do we decorate with poinsettias? Where did the jolly old man in the red suit come from, anyway? So many more traditions explained!
